I had the same problem and it was sawdust/dirt in the contacts in the rocker/off-on switch. If you haven't already, make sure you didn't blow a breaker, thrip the overload button or kick the plug out!

First, unplug the saw.

Unscrew the 4 screws from around the on-off switch as well as removing the retainer for the overload button , then take the switch cover off inside. You will need to pry the tabs out slightly to get the switch out- don't break them off. Be careful not to lose the contact plate when you take the back off. You don't need to unplug any wires to do this.

There may be some sawdust or gunk between the contact points. Blow the contact points clean and gently scrape off any gunk. When the switch is clean, replace the switch, cover and plug the saw back in. Hopefully that was the problem and you can finish that project you were working on...

You have a safety lock as the table turns to table saw with an open blade.if you don't hear the click or one of the wires on the locking mechanism have come loose it will not function. Used to have one but I wore the motor out - best portable saw I have owned and I own a lot of high end saws.if anyone has a flip saw for sale let me know - pipeline@nucleus.com.

I went to the Canadian Tire company website and found this number: 1-800-689-9928. I called and it turns out that it is the number for Mastercraft parts, but apparently the table saw (I have one too) is actually made by Porter Cable so don't be shocked when they transfer you to them.

Also, make sure you have the model (or Part) number. It's seven digits (mine is 55-6831-6) but when the roboline asks for it, just put in the first 6.
